Equal torques act on the discs A and B of the previous problem, initially both being at rest. At a later instant, the linear speeds of a point on the rim of A and another point on the rim of B are vA and vB, respectively. We have
(a) vA >vB
(b) vA = vB
(c) vA < vB
(d) the relation depends on the actual magnitude of the torques.

The correct answer is
(a) vA > vB
Explanation:
Let T be the torque and A and A' be the angular accelerations. A = T/IA and A' = T/IB. Clearly A >A'. In fact, the ratio of the moment of Inertias is 64. So at a later instant, the angular velocity of the first disc will be much greater than the second. Hence option (a).
